They sell all their iPhone 5's unlocked, they just don't advertise it as such since if you use another SIM in them you will not get LTE only 3G
What do you mean at discounted price?
By signing a 2 year contract?
All verizon iphone 5 are unlocked so you can use it on verizon and on any gsm carrier.
But remember no LTE on AT&T.
I mean discounted as in upgrade eligibility which is on 3/13/13, and then keep the i5, and when my contract is up on 7/13/13, then port over to AT&T? That's what I mean.
Also, I called Verizon Customer Service earlier, and they don't sell i5 unlocked. They don't sell any iPhone model unlocked.
All verizon iphone 5 models are fully unlocked for GSM use. Even when you get it under contract.
Just get one with an upgrade and you will be fine.
The verizon reps dont know everything about the iphone like we do here.
I almost forgot to ask: What are the instructions for unlocking, or could you post a link to a YouTube video? Would I need to purchase an AT&T SIM card? What is the exact name of the card from AT&T?
There is nothing you need to do.The phone comes unlocked already
So I won't need to buy the AT&T SIM card either?
Your kidding me right?If you want to use AT&T yes you do need to buy a sim card for AT&T. GSM requires a sim card or in the case of the iPhone 5 a nano sim card
You still need a SIM from the carrier that you intend to use it with. Unlocking only removes the SIM restrictions placed on the device (and isn't necessary with the VZW 5 since it's already unlocked). Getting an at&t SIM has nothing to do with unlocking.
You are right. My apologies for not thinking about that part. Would there be anyway out of it?
That above or don't pay anything and get your credit ruined and a lawsuit filed against you.
But all my money goes towards a sleeve of mouth cancer which would be my Cope Snuff. I dip a lot, and don't have any cash left.
I should buy myself more dip?You should win the lottery then and buy yourself a new mouth
Yes, a big bucket of it
I'm assuming you are being rude/sarcastic and you don't like helping me?
Lol
You're funny and everything but its getting old and we all see from your posts that you're just messing around.
Time to Lock this thread...
You do realize that you will extend your contract with Verizon for 2 more years if you use your upgrade to get the iPhone 5? Your contract will no longer expire on 7/13/13. It will be 3/13/15.
